All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, with extra information added as required when play tested. Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if successful.

This record is in excellent+ condition. It does have light spindle marks on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other damage. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape.  

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with only a couple of very light lines visible in normal light. There is a tiny 3mm mark at the very beginning of track 1 on side 2 and a couple of thin wispy lines but these are very minor however and overall the vinyl is superb. There are a few more extremely minor light wispy lines visible in very bright light but not loads and of course nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine.

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is superb on both sides. Its crisp, dynamic and has only a trace of surface noise in the run in and between tracks. There is no serious interference at all but I did notice 3/4 of the lightest possible clicks at the very beginning of track 1 on side 2(caused by the minor very short mark mentioned above). These are very minor and of course soon pass leaving superb near faultless audio, as per side 1. So overall a superb audio experience with no serious issues such as skips, sticks or loud annoying clicks and barely any surface noise at all.

The laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has slight wear/peeling to the edges and corners(pics), but this is very minor and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. It has a rock solid spine and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is only slight minor creasing and no serious issues at all. There is however faint ring marks visible in places and also a couple of faint marks on the front in the top right corner area. There is a couple more minor marks to the laminate on the back in the centre of the bottom edge area but these and all the issues mentioned are minor. There is a hint of discolouring inside the gatefold but overall the sleeve is in great shape with just the few minor superficial issues mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.

It contains a plain poly-lined inner which is in excellent condition with no splits or pen marks and no serious issues. There is a small scuff and light creasing however.

The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to ensure swift delivery.
